Hey Guys,
Its been three years of journey and my association with TE. I have plans of upgrading this June. Before that I request your suggestions in deciding whether to upgrade or not?
The upgrade should last atleast for next three years. I would prefer upgrading phase by phase. Like CPU ,MOBO and RAM(But the question is, can the existing processor suffice the current gen games) or is it ok if I simply upgrade the GPU, Monitor and the Cabby.
Please pour in your suggestions
PS:If upgrade is the option I would stick myself to Intel based platform
